NEVER GIVEUP Mark Daniels Jr. Since fishing the wind-blown shores of San Francisco Bay as a youngster – for fun and for dinner – Mark Daniels Jr. dreamed of competing against the world’s best tournament anglers. After earning a degree in 2006 from Tuskegee University, Daniels made a commitment to compete hard on the tournament trail for five years. Now he’s fishing against the best on the MLF Pro Tour. His climb to the top was fueled by three words: Never give up. “You have to disregard the naysayers and never give up, always follow your passion.” Mercur ryMarine.com/ProXS Daniels runs a Ranger ® Z520L powered by a Mercury ® 250 Pro XS ®
